The Industrial School.

The thirt eenth annual report of the Maine
Industrial School for Girls has been accepted
and the copy sent to the printer. The report
of Superintendent Powell shows the institu-
ton to be in prosperous condition. During
the past year twenty girls have been admit
ted to the school, constituting total since
the organization of the school of two hun
dred and ifty-six. OF this number twenty
eight have been provided with homes during
the year. Eleven have married, and one has
died. The year has been one of unusual ac-
tivity in efforts for the material improve
ment about the farm and buildings, and for
furnishing an adequate supply of water.
The permanent fund, which has come to the
institution by bequests, amounts, with ac-
crued interest, to S6,64S.35, of which sum
$116.53 has been expended for the Sabbath
school library. By the liberal favor of the
trustees of the Insane Asylum in transfer
ring to the school the windmill out of use at
that institution, the expense. of the water
supply was materially lessened. The school
is indebted to many friends for generous do
nations during the year. The State appro-
priation of $1,000 to provide for the erection
of suitable outbuilding for school No. 2,
ana 10 secure an adequate wafer supply 10r
the whole institution, has been applied to ef-
feet these objects. A plan of building was
prepared by Architect K. K. Lewis. of Gar
diner, which was adopted by the managers
with some notifications. The building has
been erected and completed, and is now in
use. The reports of the visitors speak in
tho highest terms of the work which is be-
ing accomplished.

The Cut Down In the Custom Houses

The Treasury Department is waiting for
the returns from the collectors at the smaller
ports, who under the new cast iron economy
of the department have been ordered to cut
down and reorganize their forces. Already
sounds Of complaint are coming in thick.
The collectors are opposed to the move, be-
lieying as many Maine people do here that it
will result in great increase in smuggling
The Congressman who have spoken ON the
subject have condemned the new move gem
orally on this ground There is feeling
too, not only in the places whose business
will be more or less affected by the cut at the
Maine ports, but in the reduction elsewhere
in New England, that 1t will not be so long
before the department will have to reverse its
ruling and re-establish many ofithe Offices
it now wipes out.
Social Pleasures.
The Maine people at the Hamilton are en-
joying Christmas week very quietly, there
being very little in the way Of pleasant fes-
tivities anywhere to attract dwellers in the
city. The private gaities are the only break.
The rumor goes now that the New Years
receptions at the White House, and the Cabi-
nets houses are to be postponed on account
of the death of Secretary Manning. This,
probably, however, is not definitely settled
yet, and will not be until the presidential
party returns from Albany. With Mr.. Man
ming dead, the remark rises, as it has so Of
ten risen beforekto the lips Of observers;
How unfortunate the President has been in

Democratic Leaders In Deep Water.
Mr.. Reed and his colleagues can look to the
reopening of the session with great deal of
complacent enjoyment. The Democratic
fight, as the delay Of this final
month has well indicated. But with Mr..
Reed at their head the Republicans will be
in fine condition to carry on both an
offensive and defensive campaign Mr.. Reed
was never better prepared to marshal his
forces, and his companions and lieutenants
were never better prepared to support him.

favor as they are, the outlook Is most aus

learned from an official source that Presi-
dent Clevsland's gift Of copy Of the Con-
stitution of the United States to the Pope
on the occasion of the golden jubilee of his
coronation as Pope, was suggested indirectly
by the holy father himself When Cardinal
Gibbons returned from Rome last summer he
brought very cordial congratulatory mes
sage to President Cleveland from the Pope
on the success of his administration, and
good wishes for him personally. The Pope
In interviews with the Cardinal, expressed
much satisfaction with our Constitution and
great interest in its operations. This sug-
eested to the President the idea of the gift.
No letter was sent with it, but on the fly
leaf, in the Presidents handwriting, is an
inscription presenting the book.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-Major j. w. Pow
ell of tho geological survey has just issued
his fourth volume of his series from the
geological survey. 1t is entitled "The Min
eral Resources of the Country" Curiously
enough, its very first reference to Maine
bears directly on the interesting article in
Saturdays PRESS on the iron works at Ka-
tahdin. Major Powell is drier and uses more
statistics than the PRESS. Let him tell his
facts in his own way. He says:
while numerous small deposits Of limo
mite and magnetic ores are known TO exist In
Maine, the only ones Of recognized CONNER
cial Importance are the Katahdin iron works
In Piscataquis county"
After touching on the extent Of the de-
posit, he say:
The beds originally found on the surface
OF the ground, were free from sulphate, or Il
II existed, it was found as sulphate which

formed IN sttu were found to contain from
